Developing cardiovascular efficiency, strength, muscular endurance and flexibility through the use of
circuit training. Polar heart rate monitors help students train safely and efficiently in their target heart rate
zone. Physical fitness assessment testing and re-testing assist students in establishing appropriate training
volumes and intensities. one hour lectures (9 weeks), 4 ½ hours of laboratory (18 weeks).
